Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the validity of a Voluntary Retirement Scheme under the Madhya Pradesh Industrial Relations Act, 1960, specifically Section 31. The Court held that acceptance of the scheme by employees, who later claimed coercion, raised factual disputes that warranted adjudication by the Labour Court. The Court ruled that the employees' claims for reinstatement and proper benefits must be examined, emphasizing the need for fair treatment in employment matters.
